The centre had released the balance Rs44,000 crore to states under the back-to-back loan facility in-lieu of GST compensation in the previous week, taking the total to Rs 1.59 lakh crore, the full amount that the government had planned to pay to states for FY 22 for compensation shortfall.

The government had released Rs75,000 crore in July and Rs40,000 crore earlier this month, as back-to-back loan in-lieu of GST compensation shortfall, amid the Covid 19 pandemic that had severely affected revenue generation and in turn capital expenditure for states.

The back-to-back loan amount of Rs1.59 lakh crore would be over and above the compensation in excess of Rs1 lakh crore (based on cess collection) that is estimated to be released to states during this financial year.

The total amount released by the government to states now stands at Rs2.69 lakh crore for FY21 and FY 22, to meet the resource gap due to the short release of compensation on account of inadequate amount in the compensation fund.
